Story Behind The Song

I TURNED 40

Song Description

A SONG ABOUT THE WORRIES OF AGING

Lyrics

FILLING IN THE YEARS

I FEEL THE TICKING OF THE CLOCK
TIME WANTS TO RUN I NEED TO WALK
SO IT DRAGS ME LIKE A ROCK
WONT LISTEN TO MY JIVE
IT PULLS ME HERE TO EARLY MID
WHERE MOST OF ME FEELS LIKE A KID
AND NOT THE ONE WHO LIFTS THE LID
ON DECADE NUMBER FIVE

(CHORUS)
FILLING IN THE YEARS FILLING IN THE YEARS
AND SUDDENLY THERE COMES A DAY
FILLING IN THE YEARS FILLING IN THE YEARS
AND YOU SEE HOW QUICK THE YEARS HAVE SLIPPED AWAY

AS STRAND OF GREY, A FLECK OF SNOW
THAT WASN'T THERE A WEEK AGO
NOW I'M FILLED FROM HEAD TO TOE WITH PANIC PURE AND STRONG
A FLASH OF INSECURITY
A TIDAYL WAVE OF VANITY
LIKE SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE OF ME HAS SAID I GOT IT WRONG

( CHORUS)

ALL THOSE RULES I'VE YET TO BREAK
AND ALL THAT CASH i'VE YET TO MAKE
AND ALL THAT STUFF THAT I HAVE YET TO BE
IT'S TELLIN ME I'VE GOT TO CHOOSE
JUST WHAT TO KEEP AND WHAT TO LOSE
IT MOVES WITHOUT REMORSE
A NON RENEWABLE RESOURCE
IT'S NEVER GONNA WAIT ON ME

NOW ALL THOSE SHOES I DIDN'T FILL
AND DIDN'T NEED AND NEVER WILL
HAVE STOPPED TO GIVE ME ONE LAST KICK
WHILE WALKIN OUT THE DOOR
AND NOW THESE LINES UPON MY FACE
THAT WANDERED IN TO TAKE THEIR PLACE
THE SIMPLE PICTURES THAT THEY TRACE
ARE ONES I CAN'T IGNORE

(CHORUS)
